ME~IORANDUM CIRCULARS
l\IemorandulII Eireular- No.5: Compulsory Coverage Under i\ledit:arc of All Non-Permanent Academic and Adminisn-ative Personnel ;.1Il0 Vulldution of Medicare lUembcrship Form
The Philippine Medical Care Commission approved un- der its Resolution No. 74-614 dated December 4, 1974, amended by Resolution No. 75-638 dated February 19, 1975, the compulsory coverage of casual, temporary, con- tractual. emergency and substitute employees in the Gov- ernment service for Medicare purposes effective January 1, 1975.
Accordingly, the required Medicare contributions pur- suant to Section 21 of Republic Act 6111 will be deducted monthly beginning January 1, 1975 from the salaries of these employees. They are, therefore, requested to fill up
the Information-for-Medicare-Membership form for vali- dation by the GSIS Medicare Department and issuance of Medicare passbooks.
Likewise, all University personnel who have previously submitted their Information-for-Medicare-Membership forms shall fill up new ones in three (3) copies for updating and validation. One validated copy will be re- turned to the employee to be presented to the hospital concerned with the passbook whenever a member avails of his Medicare benefits. This will avoid the filling up of such form every time one makes use of his Medicare membership. Those who have not been issued their Medi- . care passbooks are requested to submit their names to the Office of Administrative Personnel Service (GAPS) so that they may be given their passbooks. Information- for-Medicare-Membership forms are available at GAPS.
Please circularize this Memorandum to all personnel of your Unit.
